Stranger Things tribute with Posters

Our comparisons with original posters

To wait until the second season of ‘Stranger Things’ exclusively on NETFLIX, just before Halloween, the favorite series of the streaming provider disclosed posters directly referring to great science fiction and horror films of the 80s.

The official Twitter account of the series has launched a promotional concept called #StrangerThursdays, creating many posters, unveiled since a few weeks, that have obvious clues related to the aesthetics of the show. So you’re able to see that some typographies of the headlines have been judiciously recreated, some positions of models are identical, similar productions, colors and background decorations with the same atmosphere. But all of this with an extreme meticulousness making these posters sometimes better than the original ones. There is a lot of inspiration from films like ‘Alien’, ‘Evil Dead’, ‘Firestarter’, ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ (Freddy), ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’, ‘The Goonies, (with the hero who plays in season 2), ‘The Running Man’, ‘Jaws’ or ‘Stand by me’. The choice of films used is judiciously chosen, referring to the story of ‘Stranger Things’. Ross and Matt Duffer (directors) have reported that this season will look a bit more horrible with the spirit of Freddy (the nightmares taken as a parallel world) and Alien (monsters from outerspace that infest the town of Hawkins) . We’ll update this article according to the new posters. Don’t forget to check the last trailer and the free 8-bit game.

Looking forward to October 27th, here is our comparison system with details. So, see by yourselves the many similarities. It’s worth it! Don’t forget to move the pointer at the center, by the right to the left.
